Dear Potential Participant,
I am a graduate student in the Department of Educational and Counseling Psychology at the University of Kentucky. I would like to invite you to participate in my research study to explore the health of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals. You may participate if you are at least 18 years of age, identify as an LGB person, and reside in the United States.
Participants will be asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and an internet survey. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. There will be not cost to you.
I will not be collecting any information that identifies you. You may elect to skip any question(s) that you do not wish to answer. You may not receive any benefit for completing this study; however, you may be gratified to know that you are contributing to our knowledge of the health of LGB individuals. If you complete the survey by February 15, 2012, you will have a chance to win a $100 gift card to Amazon.com.
Please feel free to forward this study to others who may be qualified to participate. However, you are not required to do so and this will not be tracked to see if you have forwarded the information. There will be no way to identify and connect your responses with anyone you may have received information about this study from or forwarded this information to. In other words, no one will be able to tell if you received the study from another individual or forwarded the information on to another individual.

The Ampersand symbolizes the solidarity we are building through Friends & Family, and suggests the inclusiveness we are working toward. It reflects the idea that no one individual, legislator, organization, or city can carry all the water for equality. Our success lies in our solidarity.
